yep, I know, I have a problem in my brain and sometimes I can't find the right word for the situation.

I didn't think 'accident' was appropriate as it seemed to be a deliberate action.

I could have said disaster I suppose.

I imagine if you were in cahoots with those that shot down that airliner, and knew a lot of countries were **bleep** off with you, you'd take a few warships along with you just incase the other kids started picking on you.

I wasn't scaremongering as Nero suggested, I found it amusing that poor little Putin felt the need to show off his boats.
